Both these magazines are the sort of thing that I would want to look through first before buying.

My recommendation would be to save your money and put it towards Haryono Haryoguritno's big book on keris, which is a true delight. Just the quality of it and the quality of photos and items photographed is sufficient to make you feel rich, even if you're not.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the feedback. Personally, for PAMOR magazine, I found some of the articles interesting. Most are written in the mindset of the general javanese. Different views and beliefs which one might find interesting in itself.

For those of us whom already have Haryono's wonderful book, any others to recommend?
